7 of us turned out this morning, no Westfields out as the weather wasn't promising, wasn't too bad though. Breakfast and a good chat, what more do you want. Fingers crossed for better weather, and some more people next month.

Hi. if you want to put the2.0 engine in you will need to keep the 1.8 flywheel as the 2.0 is massive. You also keep the 1.8 water pump as the 2.0 spins the wrong way for your setup. You also keep your 1.8 sump. One of the engine mounts will need changing as it does not fit, I can’t remember which one but apart from that it’s a straight swap.

You can do it either way, engine out or both but if the box is stopping you might as well just take the engine out. As for tools you just undo the 6 bolts that hold the flywheel to the crank and it falls off.

Hi - I am interested - mgartside71@gmail.com

That’s the Silvertop - the blacktop requires an idler pulley for the water pump but if the OP is going blacktop to blacktop, everything (inc mounts) will swap over just fine. He’s going to need the carbs rejetting (and maybe new needles) with a rolling road session to check.

Hi, A few of us are planning on descending on Donington tomorrow morning for breakfast at the Factoryheads cafe about 10am. A mate of ours is doing the trackday in his M135i (his Westfield is staying at home for this one) so we will heading round to the circuit after breakfast to jeer/cheer him on 😂 As normal with trackdays, spectators are free 👍 Weather looks promising with overnight rain to wash the salt away but looks dry amd warmer in the day.

There are some cheap tall doors on eBay, if you've not seen them. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/276143577709?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=6mI_2eVQT1q&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=V9ghMc1HQ6u&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

Monthly meeting 7.30pm onwards at Re:Fuel Cullompton. See you there for pizza and chats!

Just thinking of Monday, if we stop over at say, the Travelodge, Berwick on Sunday night? then that puts us right with the tide times, we can pop on to Holy Island on Monday morning before taking the coast road down past Bamburgh Castle to Warkworth and South. Any opinions, especially from locals, if that is a good idea? (will have to wash the salt water off when we get home of course)

First Monthly meet of 2024 for a natter and a pint, usual venue, The Crown Inn Bridport DT6 4AX from 19.30.
